"Immediately arrest these violent thugs" | UNM responds to the violence in Dmanisi with an emergency briefing

The "National Movement" responds to the Dmanisi incident with a special briefing. As party member Tina Bokuchava said, the party demands the immediate arrest of those involved in the incident. Bokuchava also said that the "Dream" activists and the son of the incumbent majoritarian candidate are among the attackers.

The worst incident took place in Dmanisi today, during a meeting with the supporters of the opposition mayoral candidate Giorgi Tatuashvili in the village of Gantiadi. A group of 20-30 aggressive people attacked our supporters. This group was directly led by members of the Georgian Dream. In particular: the group was led by Zurab Okmelashvili, a person who has participated in political-violent acts in the past. Zurab Okmelashvili's son, Maka Okmelashvili, who is number three on the Georgian Dream list in Dmanisi.

In addition, Davit Dautashvili, the son of the local majoritarian candidate Mikheil Dautashvili, used a lethal weapon to inflict severe wounds on two of our supporters. There are footage of this, there are plenty of witnesses, and therefore we demand the immediate arrest of these abusers. Of course, they are not the only ones responsible for this attack, 
We also impose the responsibility upon high-ranking officials of the Georgian Dream" Bokuchava said.
